Hello-- I am currently in crunch at my job, working 7 days

Resolved Question:

Hello--

I am currently in crunch at my job, working 7 days straight, Sunday to Sunday with no day off. We are working 12 hour days Monday-Friday, and 8 hour days Saturday and Sunday. We will be working this schedule for around 50 days straight, with one Sunday off. Is this legal in California?

California law provides that every employee is entitled to one day's rest in seven and prohibits employers from requiring employees to work more than six days in seven. Labor Code §§ 551-552]

Days of rest may be accumulated, however, when the nature of the employment reasonably requires that the employee work seven or more consecutive days . . . provided that the employee receives in each calendar month days of rest equivalent to one day's rest a week. Labor Code § 554(a).

Hope this helps.
